Railroad, and had il ;,rt been for the
unfortunate disagreement among these
capitalists, the work on the N. O. 4
f. s. road would have been in an adj
vanced stage of construction. This we
know from the fact that our Capt.
lambert when in Philadelphia week
or two ago had the statement from
members Of the syndicate then Deepen

But other financial arrangements
have been since made which will as
sure the capital for construction, and it
will be but u short time, we hope, be-
fore our community is stirred with the
active hustle of railroad construction.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that all
the communities from Fort ScDtt to
New Orleans, along its route, will
encourage the projectors of this road
by their STEADY confidence in an enter
prise that will, we think we can say,
assuredly be speedily carried into ef'
feet, and which will when completed,
put new life int, all the communities
through which it will pass.

From letters received yesterday by
Capt. JAG. w. Lambert from Gen. John
II, Rice, since the return of himself
and Judge Hill to Fort Scott from their
recent visit to Philadelphia aud the
Eastern cities, we are gratified to learn
that arrangements have been made
that are entirely satisfactory to them,
for securing the financial aid necessary
for the cons truction of the New Or
leans, NatcheZ & Fort Scott railroad
Gen. Rice will be in Natchez early in
July, say between the 9th, and 18th,
for the purpose of completing all the
preliminary arrangements which are
not yet matters of record, such as clos
ing agreements for rights of way and
all other things necessary to be done
previous to beginning the construction
of the road.
There is therefore an assurance that
the road will be begun and pus red rap
idly forward early this fall Gen. Rice
on his next visit will, he hopes, com.
pltte all pr, liminary arrangements,
and by the time he gets through, the
weather will permit Of u full force OF
laborers doing efficient work,
We hope that all the communities
along the line of this important thor
oughfare will remember that such an
enterprise as this cannot be organized
and put under way until reasonable
time is allowed for preparation. When
this city was asked for it said there was
but liiile doubt that the work would be

THE PARISHES.
FRANKLIN,

The crop prospects look brighter than
they have been for several years. Corn is
almost made and there have been several
specimens of cotton blooms sent to the
Office this week. Let us hope the prospect
may continue. With no set back we may
look for an ample yield both of cotton and
cOrn.--SuH.
On Friday afternoon of last week u col

The present prospects for u fine crop OF

this and the adjoining parishes were meyer
now we hear old farmers complaining that
the wind and cool nights OF this week are
damaging corn very fast and unless there
is change soon, the damage will DO fatal
to a good yield. The bright hopes which
seem now to bouy up the farmers, expert
ence has taught us. is premature, and it
causes us to wait with expectant fear tile
future of those hopes. Times, almost
without number, we have heard the far

The North and South Railroad.
MONROE, La, June 23d,


Editor Telegraph:
in your last issue to the Fort Scott,
Natchez aud New Orleans Railroad
Company is cause for deep pain and
regret among those who have the best
interests of our city and parish at
heart. We have long wanted and
yearned for the bulldog OF Nortt,
and South railroad through our rich
and splendid valley. The great capi-
talista of the world failed to appreciate
the necessity and value of such road
and to secure action and stimulate the
construction of it, We the taxpayers of
Monroe and Ouachita parish voted a
tax of five mills Cor ten years to a cor
poration on condition that said road
should be completed from Fort Scott
to Natchez by January lst, 1892. The
voting of this tax by large majority,
after full discussion and thorough adj
vertisement, was one of the most fa~
NOUS and honorable achievements in
the history of our community. The
law was strictly compiled with. Every
step was we'll understOod. The condi-
tions of the ordinance submitting the
tax we're clear and unmistakable and
the valuable franchise granted, under
our constitution and laws, became as
certain and fixed as deposit in bank,
subject alone to the condition that the
road should be completed and in oper.
alton by the time specified. Now, our
city and parish are bound to pay said
tax on the fulfilment of the conditions
and this legal obligation cannot be es i.
capped. Does any one want to escape
it: Our good faith, our public credit
is pledged not to make the least at
tempt to escape it. We are bound in
conscience as well as in law to carry
out the obligations we have assumed
both in letter and in spirit. We will
lose the moral strength of the progress
sive spirit we have exhibited, if we
detract by word or deed from the pres.
ent and prospective value Of the fran
chise we have voted.
There will be plenty Of obstacles
thrown by designing and interested
parties in the way of the construction
of this road. What we taxpayers want
aud need is the roati-the actual, oper-
ating road-and 1t behooves us tn deal
squarely and candidly with those who
propose to build it. 1t is, perhaps,
natural that we should be impatient to
see the work begin. And in the event
reasonable commencement is not made
by our grantee, suitable action may be
properly taken TO procure an assign
ment OF the franchise. But, in no
event, should the value and good faith
and building obligation Of the franchise
we have voted, be questioned or in
validated. TAXPAYER.

THE WILD GIRL OF CATAHOULA.

A strange story comes from Cata-
houla parish in this State. 1t is told
by a correspondent of the Harrison
burg News.
It appears that there is north and
west of Funny Louis, in ward No. 4,
what may be termed the desert Of
CatahouIa parish, and covers fully
two townships or $50 acres of land.
There are three roads running through
it from Centerville, one to Columbia,
one to Castor Springs and the other to
Simmons ferry, at the head of Little
river. There are no habitations on
this vast tract of land, yet it is covered
with dense forest Of spruce, or short
leaf pine, mixed with post oak, white
thorn huckleberry bushes and sedge
grass. Near the borders of Funny
Louis stream, and on the north side Of
it, and shouth of this desert, there are
some families located; among them
lives Mr.. Jack Francis, who has several
children. One of his daughters, II or
Is years old, while driving home the
cows last December, ran to the house
and declared that she saw a wild girl,
perfectly nude, with long black hair :;
that the girl mad broken Il bush OF
parsley haws, and ran away on seeing
her.
This wild girl, it is claimed, has
been repeatedly seen, and several
| times by persons on horseback, who
pursued her at fuIt speed, but her
extraordinary tleetness enabled the
strange creature to outsirip their hor-
ses and escape. In connection with
this apparition it is reported by Mr..
A. Dukes, who lives near White Sui
phur Springs in that parish, that a
| wretched and degraded white woman
| named Duck used II tramp through
the country with three children, and
one being about years old was a
beautiful girl, but had club foot, for
which Madam Duck often threatened
to throw the child away. Ever since
then he has noticed only two children
with her, and so concludes that she
abandoned this girl in that wild re-
gion and that she has survived the
miSerieS of the terrible situation
People in the country are interesting
themselves in the case and systema
tic search will be made for the wild
waif.--ficnVtDac.

THE COTTON CROP.
From the Report of the National EX.
change for June.
!SOuth Illustrated.

ESouth Illustrated.l
Favorable weather during the winter
over pretty much the entire cotton
belt enabled planters to make such
Roadway in their farm work that
rarely has the land been so generally
well prepared for Il crop as at this
present season.
Pianting-that is the putting of the
seed in the ground-was accomplished
therefore at an earlier date than usual I;
but marked absence of moisture dur
ing the latter half OF March and in
April, together with exceptionally cool
spells, interfered seriously with ger
animation, and the prospects ut the
close of April were by no means en-
cOuraging.
With the opening days Of May,
however, came change; and as the
month progressed the benefiting causes
became ntensified-seasonable showers
with hot forcing weather, so that the
crop has made Il wonderful growth.
The plant is healthy, stands with but
few exceptions good, and general con-
dition of crop superior to last year and
fully up 10 season of 1885.
Over good portion of Arkansas,
however, and the sections contiguous
thereto, complaint is made of grassy
fields, though no actual damage has yet
occurred.
ALI through the Atlantic States the
use of commercial fertilizers had very
materially decreased, while the younger
States had to some extent made more
use of them.
Labor is generally plenty, and work
ing well.
With the exception of South Caro-
lima, there has been an increased acre
age, slight in most of the States, but
showing we'll in Arkansas and Texas,
making an average increase for the
belt OF Ia per cent, and giving in
round figures an area OF Is, 900, 900 acres
under cultivation in cotton.
